School House

The School House is a Grade II listed building arranged in a U-shaped layout, featuring separate Boys and Girls Halls and classrooms, with the central School House set back behind a front garden. It is constructed of rubble, snecked to earlier work and coursed to later enlargements, with freestone dressings around the windows and quoins. The building has tiled roofs with overhanging eaves and brick chimney stacks, and the windows are square-pane glazed.

The hall ranges for Boys and Girls are positioned with gables facing the road and transverse wings that have downhill gable ends. The doorways are centrally located at the front. The Boys' Hall features a three-light square-headed window with pilasters, while the Girls' Hall has a Venetian-style window with a central keystone and rounded cills. Both gables are adorned with blue and white painted decorations, created by R Norton Nance of St Ives and designed by his wife, which include motifs such as fleur de lys, dragons, and birds on roughcast surfaces. Some of the Girls' decorations are set within a reticulated pattern border. Beneath the eaves to the left of the entrances, there are unusual inset painted panels depicting boys at work and girls exercising with dumb-bells. The similar downhill gable ends feature simple painted decorations and three-light windows, with the Girls' Hall having an additional transverse wing that steps forward with twin gable ends. Both roofs have small clerestories on either side.

The two-storey house has a tall gable on the advanced right-hand bay, with pointed arched lights and a high transom on the first floor below a blind shield and relieving arch. The ground floor has paired cross-frame windows with trefoil-headed lights and small panes above. A hipped dormer roof is positioned over the left-hand first-floor cross-frame window, and there is a lean-to below that contains a three-light window and a porch with a segmental arched entry, featuring a shouldered doorway.

At the rear, there are single-storey school ranges that relate to the earlier work and also feature similar trefoil-headed lights, set within tall gables with transoms at the eaves level. The later work includes arched braced roof trusses.
